Overview
- Las Nacionales, which runs May 24–29 at the Sociedad Rural de Corrientes, is staging a packed week of juries, technical events and televised or streamed remates that will offer more than 55,000 head for sale.
- Top results so far include the sale of 50% of the Gran Campeón Brahman for $40 million, a 100% sale of the Reservado Gran Campeón for $43 million and a 50% vaquillona sale for $29 million, all recorded at Colombo y Magliano’s reproductive auction.
- Governor Juan Pablo Valdés formally opened the show, promoted Corrientes as a major cattle province and said provincial officials are holding talks with Grupo Juramento about potential investment in local slaughter and feedlot capacity.
- Producers and breed leaders report a visible recovery from drought years, citing firmer prices, more inquiries for breeding females, renewed investment in genetics and on‑farm work, while herd numbers remain the lowest since 2011 and broader rebuilding is expected to play out over coming seasons.
- The week of high‑profile remates by major consignatarias is serving as a live market barometer for Argentine beef, but expectations that the national government will reduce beef export duties remain unconfirmed and will be central to whether the rally spurs faster herd rebuilding.
